John Sloan's The City from Greenwich Village
Being a proper Renaissance man, I have amassed a lovely collection of sophist writing on a variety of topics. Dearest to me are the literary pieces and particularly "Bohemian Poseurs," which is a study of interwar Greenwich Village through the writings of Carl Van Vetchen and Floyd Dell. In addition, you will find writings on a variety of esoteric topics.
When I write the words "esoteric topics," I mean esoteric topics, but in reality most of the pieces will be connected to Modernist thought and how it responded to the failure of narratives and, in the alternative, how Modernist narratives have failed or are still succeeding.

Bohemian Poseurs
Self-photo by Van Vechten
This is a study of bohemianism in interwar New York. It was done as a comparison through the works of the lesser known writers Carl Van Vechten and Floyd Dell. Working through the works of these two authors, different sub-cultures emerge in New York and they circulate around the concepts of authenticity and posing.
